A Voice in the Wilderness: An Anthology in Honor of Michael and Libby Weed

By Keith D. Stanglin

A Voice in the Wilderness: An Anthology in Memory of Michael and Libby Weed gathers fifteen select essays originally published in the Faculty Bulletin and in Christian Studies, publications of the faculty of the Institute for Christian Studies and Austin Graduate School of Theology from 1980 to 2019. Collectively, these chapters showcase a vision for the church and an approach to theological education characteristic of the Austin school of thought in Churches of Christ. The "scholarship for the church" exemplified in these pages is biblically focused, theologically astute, historically aware, and practically oriented, chock full of incisive diagnoses and salutary prescriptions for churches making their way in a culture that would seek to dilute the church's faith and practice. The title, A Voice in the Wilderness, alludes to the often prophetic subject matter and tone of the journal, particularly within Churches of Christ. These select essays were prescient, they pointed to the fellowship's coming identity crisis, and they were willing to say important things that, at the time, almost no one else was saying. The Center for Christian Studies now releases these timeless essays for a new generation of readers, in memory of the journal's founding editor, Michael Weed, and his wife, Libby.
